Brandon Anderson's Picks

Today
Pending
This hit Game 1 and 2 and was two points away in G4. Has hit in over half of Pacers games this playoff run. If you think it’s an OKC blowout, probably skip this one. If it’s competitive, this has proven to be a bad number.

Dylan Harper Summer League MVP+5000
0.25u
collab with @JoeDellera, rookies have won 3 of the last 4 summer MVP and with Flagg Reed etc out there’s not much clear completion. This award has become a pre-ROY crown a summer youngster thing, so even one big Dylan game and a 2-0 Spurs tourney berth could put him in play even after missing the opener

Kings Summer League Champs+1300

collab with @JoeDellera, 2-0 & they fit the profile with older youngsters and a team that will want to push to establish winning culture

Matthew Stafford+5000
2025 NFL MVP
0.5u
MVP requires stats, wins, and narrative. Rams offense should be far healthier + Davante Adams, which could mean huge numbers and a push into top 5 all time pass yards, plus big wins and a top 2 seed if the young defensive front continues to improve. Would be a crowning HOF achievement at his age and an obvious media narrative boost. No reason a QB this good on a team this talented to be priced this long. Should be half this number max. https://www.actionnetwork.com/nfl/nfl-mvp-futures-picks-best-5000-long-shot-on-board

Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Bet the Texans to go from worst to first in the division, and even doubled down with a Will Anderson DROY cherry on top. Joe Flacco CPOY +25000 and Nuggets over Heat +1600 exact outcome were fun, too!
Most Heartbreaking Bet
MVP bets. Tom Brady +1400 in 2021, odds-on favorite in December, but shutout vs. Saints on SNF. Nikola Jokic +900 in 2023, rightful leader all the way, but the moron voters get bored and go with Embiid last minute. Brock Purdy +5000 in 2024, odds-on favorite on Christmas, but the voters are too proud to vote for him or Dak. You're killin' me, Smalls!
